". . .There are no rough edges here: the production is smooth, the playing is tight, the mix is well balanced and the voice – of one Shannon Lee - is silky, suggestive and sultry. For some reason, she reminds me of the country artist Loretta Lynn, maybe in part due to her physical appearance, and – yes – perhaps a little bit of Amanda Marshall, whom Lee lists as a major influence. This much is certain: her voice is strong and expressive – easily equal to the task set by her composition.
~ Cam Bastedo - Gods of Music"Lee sings about finding and losing love, resisting and giving in to temptation in a voice like raw silk - warm and smooth, throaty without becoming raspy."
Langley Times"Shannon Lee is a very talented lady. . . she has what I like to call "The New York" sound."
Mark Collier MGM Records"Shannon Lee is a Winnipeg-bred, Langley, BC based singer/songwriter, who makes her recording debut with this 13 song album or original songs. Shannon Lee is a versatile lady – a medical doctor by day, a published story writer, she plays piano, guitar, writes her own songs and has a pretty impressive voice. Her musical talents are showcased to their fullest on Kiss 'n Tell."
